"I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother, I almost forgot you in your stomach" said deva slowly.

"Let's get going" take aisha.

"Yes come on baby" nodded deva.

They immediately walked and entered the car. Because the burial ground is far enough away so the bodies are delivered using ambulances and the deliverymen use a private car.

30 Minutes drive they finally arrived at the intended burial ground. There is a hole that has been dug. The hole coincides next to the tomb of his father Deva. At the request of his mother, he said that when he was not, he wanted to be buried next to his father's grave.

Tears fell again as the funeral took place, this time the deva did not cry anymore. Deva realizes that her mother's departure is the fate of the almighty.

Deva helped bury his mother's body and made a complaint without shedding any tears.

Moments later the funeral was over, everyone who was delivering was praying for Ratih's mother. Finished praying one by one began to disperse, now the remains of Deva, Aisha and Susan and aisha family who are still there. Deva crouched down beside the tombstone of her mother's tomb.

"Mam,deva is sorry that as long as you're still in this world, Deva can't make you happy. May you be happy with your father there" said deva sadu. Deva hugged her mother's tombstone and stood up.

"Let's go home, I want to talk about something important. This is my mom's last message" Deva said in a serious tone. It was hard for deva to say that but susan and the others had to know this truth.

"Yes come" said Aisha agreed.

They immediately rushed home.

After a tiring journey they finally arrived at the deva house. All were sitting except deva he was standing in front of the glass of his house while staring straight out of the house.

"Susan" said deva and turned her body and walked over to Susan and sat on an empty chair. "I know it's very hard for you to accept this kind of reality. Actually I also really mind saying a message from my mom. But you have to know the truth, I don't want to keep this truth to myself" explained deva making susan confused.

"So, hurry up and just say don't make me feel bad like this" Susan urged.

"Susan you're not my real sister. More precisely you are not the biological child of mom and dad" said deva carefully.

susan was silent and surprised.

"What does brother mean?" susan asked in disbelief.

"Yes mom used to find you in Jakarta. Your father's name is Haris and Dewi" clearly deva returned while bowed.

"So you've been keeping this a secret from me all this time? If you know my real parents why didn't I give it back to him?" susan asked for an explanation.

"Susan! brother doesn't know all this only mama knows, which must be the will of mama. I have to reunite you with your biological parents" Deva said in a slightly high tone.

Susan cried hearing all the truth. Then suddenly his body was unconscious. Susan fell unconscious.

Things turned to panic. Aisha raised her head and put it on her lap.Aisha's mother brought a glass of water and splashed it on her face. Susan never woke up.

"You call the doctor so I can carry him to his room" said Aryan then immediately carried a susan and took her to his room.

All became panicked except deva, she was just pensively still sitting on a chair. Aisha who realized her husband like that immediately approached her.

"Tell my wife, what is my sin until my life is as bad as this?" deva asked as she pulled aisha's hand and invited her to sit by her side.

"You are not guilty of this. All this is fate, never blame yourself" said Aisha assured deva.

"Destiny ? what kind of fate has God given me? Ever since you married me your life has been a test, even your life is threatened. I've made you so miserable" said deva, shedding tears of sorrow.

"Not my husband! Never say that. I love you so much and I am happy with you. Remember we promised to get through everything together!" aisha's words remind deva of the promise she made to aisha when they were children.

"I'm so lucky to have you Aisha. What is your heart made of? until you love someone as cowardly as me?" deva asked while still sobbing in her tears.

"Not my husband has enough blame and self-indulgence. Enough already! otherwise our baby will be angry with you" said Aisha while comforting deva.

Deva hugged his wife while crying.

"My husband, we will always face any situation together. Never give up on destiny. Rest assured that if God gives you a test, in the future God will also give you greater happiness than the test. Every problem has a solution. Never give up on this life. If you are desperate then pray and ask God to give you confidence to go back to live this life. Live and be happy for me, for the sake of our child, and for the future we have waiting for us ahead." said aisha cheering deva"Rise from this sorrow and adversity. Never linger sad and down like this. Let's face together all the obstacles in life until we get real happiness" continued Aisha still encouraging deva.

"Thank you, my wife, you are the best wife in the world" said Deva, moved by his wife's words. They embrace back.
